CHAPTER vi.

One morning, when several visitors
were at Westwood, the conversation
turned upon the Indian famine. We
were all seated at luncheon. Some Of
the gentlemen remarked what a chari-
table country ours was-what large
sums of money were Forthcoming when
any great disaster occurred.
Lord Yorke agreed.
"But, )" he said, II do not think we
realize what the word famine means.
In our happy land we have not seen
women and children dying by the road
side, plucking the dry roots and the
grass in the pangs of hunger"
II have seen something like II" said
Mr.. Devine. Il was in Ireland during
the potato famine and 1 saw there
scenes that will haunt me to my dying
day-gaunt, hungry men, in whose eyes
was wolfish CLEAN, pale, patient wom-

like spectres, with famine written In
their faces. have seen mother and

asked Lady Yorke.

with slight shudder, .'that people ever

Let me tell it quickly. My dear
mother was buried. and was alone in

away-alone, save for him; and, when
July of the next year should come, the

would return.

In few days | was quite at home at

They were certainly heavy. Fortunate

rising and fresh air, they did not. COM

YOrke did not care to be disturbed be-

often that if people knew how lovely
the early morning was they would new

out into the park.
1t seemed to me always that spent

in her boudoir, and every morning she
had thousand new wants. 1t was a
puzzle to me how she invented them.
There were letters to answer, invita-

read. Every day brought its papers,
periodicals, magazines, new novels, all
of which must be read to her. Then
we walked or drove. At luncheon Lord

CHAPTER ".


The words were ever before me in
letters of fire-'"Gone away-left no adj
dress'' Both by night and by day they
beat upon my brain. Christmas passed;
bright, lovely spring was coming. What
was l to do?
Mark had gone away and left no adj
dress. No letter, no prayer from me
could reach him. In all the wide world
did not know where to look for him,
where to send to him. He seemed as
lost to me as though he had gone into
another sphere.
What could | do? In the July of this
year he was to come home and marry
me; was waiting for him. had no
other future, no other home, nothing
else to which l could look forward.
Where was he-my handsome, brave
young lover, who had loved so dearly
and worshipped me so entirely2 Was
he living or dead? Hope, health,
strength, everything failed me except
my faith; that was undimned and I'M
touched. If he was lying ill, unable to
write, l knew he was thinking of me,
longing for me; if he had been sudden
ly sent to some distant place on bust
ness, from which perhaps he was una
BILE to send news to me, he would be
miserable, as 1 was. Even if he was
lying dead in the depths of the sea, his
last thought had been mine. Every
hour of the day and night this one
question met me-What must l do?
There were times when the impulse
was strong upon me to go out into the
wide world and search for him. Then
faith and patience came to my aid.
They said, "Wait here for him. He
will come with the lilies and roses;
wait in hope and patience"
The spring came and went. l avoided
looking at the lilacs. Their perfume
filed the air. could not help breathing
it-but avoided looking at them. My
heart was sick, half dead with pain,
and the sight Of them would almost
with its roses. My little store of money
was all gone, andI knew that | could
not remain many weeks longer at the
cottage. Mark would come in July, if
he were living; and, if he did not come,
/ should know that he was dead. So,
in desolation and anguish of heart, /
counted the days. / dreaded at times
to look in the mirror; was so afraid
my hair had grown gray. The color
had left my face, the light had died
from my eyes; but July was coming.

An Alarm of Fire.

At few minutes before o'clock
last Tuesday evening an alarm of
FIRE was given and in few seconds

eastern part Of town but the exact
location, for time, could not be
learned. 1t proved to he in Hon. C.

had made some Roadway before dis.
covered. Mrs. Bishop thought she
smelled wood smoke and Charley

TO make an examination. He at once
discovered the flames in the stable
and gave the alarm. His father ran
out and succeeded in keeping the
FIRE in subsection until bucket of
water was brought and applied to
the flames. Had not the fire been
discovered just at the time it was the
stable and its contents would soon
have been in ashes The origin of
the fire is a mystery. AS is always

exist. Some think a lighted cigar
was thoughtlessly dropped by some
one who might have been in the sta.

believe the work to he incendiary.
